Reading is essentially a journey inside the head of the narrator, primarily. This is where, to my mind, a novel scores over the film. However where curiosity is aroused about the novel after a while you start to wonder what that patchily described environment is like particuarly in the case of a foreign book where you may not have visited the country. So for instance in the case of Kiffe Kiffe demain (see resources under www.kiffekiffedemain.co.uk ) you can easily visit Livry-Gargan the town in which the novel takes place. Just go to www.google.co.uk/maps and type in the town name. Pull the little orange man on the zoom tool onto a blue lined street to go into Streetview mode.
Similarly for Un sac de billes (www.unsacdebilles.co.uk ) you can visit the bridge in Aire sur Adour or the various places in Nice or Menton ... an excellent way of going from the internal to external exploration.
